Comments:	By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2007-06-04 10:28:47 Two more changes need to be made: 1) When using sizeof() to reference a struct, we prefer that you use the pointer notation, i.e. foo = ast_calloc(1, sizeof(*foo)) 2) All invocations of free() should be changed to ast_free().  While this is merely a cosmetic change right now, we may add additional debugging to this routine in the future. By: Eliel Sardanons (eliel) 2007-06-04 11:54:18 Ok, I will add your changes and make another .patch By: Eliel Sardanons (eliel) 2007-06-04 11:57:32 You want me to take this just in res_jabber, or in all the asterisk source and commit a patch for every file? By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2007-06-04 12:18:18 We'd prefer one large patch containing all of the files you're going to touch, rather than individual patches for each file. By: Eliel Sardanons (eliel) 2007-06-04 19:37:09 I will update one patch file for each directory. I think is better than having one patch for ALL the files.. By: Eliel Sardanons (eliel) 2007-06-04 21:11:16 In channels.patch you will find some bugs solved in chan_mgcp and chan_misdn. By: Eliel Sardanons (eliel) 2007-06-04 22:57:05 in app_voicemail fix a minor issue (delete a not needed free). By: Eliel Sardanons (eliel) 2007-06-04 23:21:08 I think thats all. I didn't change astmm.c (the free()'s there). And the other changes I made (apart from free()s and malloc()/calloc()) were all reported in the bugnotes. By: snuffy (snuffy) 2007-06-05 00:58:12 Nice work eliel, I was going to attempt but thought i'd screw it up :) By: Eliel Sardanons (eliel) 2007-06-05 08:59:56 Corydon76: We could add to ast_free() a log when trying to free a NULL pointer, this is not an issue, but when we try to free a NULL pointer is because something else maybe wrong, so it's a good starting point for finding bugs... By: Jason Parker (jparker) 2007-06-05 18:27:47 Part of what needs to be done with this janitor project, is also remove the "Out of memory!" messages, as the ast_*alloc() functions do that already. By: Eliel Sardanons (eliel) 2007-06-05 19:00:45 I recommend commiting this patch's and then while I countinue changing code, because it will be so big and so many files to be changed that it will conflict with everything!. I will continue working... but is my suggestion. By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2007-06-06 16:20:41 Committed, revision 67864.
